Earls Trip

De: Jenny Holiday

Narrado por: Harry Frost

Ted Lasso meets Bridgerton for a nineteenth century spin on The Hangover in USA Today bestselling author Jenny Holiday's laugh-out-loud Earls Trip.

Even an earl needs his ride-or-dies, and Archibald Fielding-Burton, the Earl of Harcourt, counts himself lucky to have two. The annual trip that Archie takes with his BFFs Simon and Effie holds a sacred spot in their calendars. This year, Archie is especially eager to get away, until an urgent letter arrives from an old family friend, begging him to help prevent a ruinous scandal. Suddenly, the trip has become earls-plus-girls, as Archie's childhood pals, Clementine and Olive Morgan, are rescued en route to Gretna Green.

This . . . complicates matters. The fully grown Clementine, while as frank and refreshing as he remembers, is also different to the wild, windswept girl he knew. This Clem is complex and surprising—and adamantly opposed to marriage. Which, for reasons Archie dare not examine too closely, he finds increasingly vexing.

Then, Clem makes him an indecent and quite delightful proposal, asking him to show her the pleasures of the marriage bed before she settles into spinsterhood. And what kind of gentleman would he be to refuse a lady?

Zero angst slow burn

First time for this author. FUN and much banter! Of course you can’t go wrong with Harry Frost. The switch up of characters is always evident. This tale is excellent!

no Surprises here

I chose this book after it was recommended by a writer on CBS. I listen to books at least half of the time while driving and found the reader's very difficult to hear. His "up & down" in tone felicitate my constant use of the volume know which became frustrating. The story was entertaining but very predictable.

Fun!

If you’re looking for intellectual stimulation, go elsewhere. If you’re looking for well written escapism, this is your book! It’s predictable but enjoyable.

A fun light listen

Earls Trip is a humorous, romantic, and heart-warming regency-era novel that doesn'ttake itself seriously. Definitely recommend.

Don’t miss this one!

I the review made me believe I might get a giggle or two, I was wrong. I laughed out loud, on the bus which made it all the better. I will wait a few weeks or months but I will re-listen to this story.

DNF,

Boring. 3 Earls complain how their parents didn’t love them and the heroine is more in love with being a vegetarian than she’s interested in the Earl. Not a romantic comedy, not Regency romance. Not worth your time or credit. Tried to return this but Audible wouldn’t return because I paid by debit. Ridiculous to be stuck with this book.

Boring and Unbelievable

Too many details on things that don't matter. Couldn't get into it. They too much detail on people being vegan.
